United Kingdom Vegan Activities including Attractions & Vegan Shopping
In addition to activities specifically created for us vegans like vegan surf camps, vegan yoga retreats, and vegan tours, many of the activities we vegans enjoy doing while traveling abroad, as well as in our home towns, often reflect out compassionate outlook on life. For example, most vegans would never go to a zoo or aquatic park, but we would happily visit national parks and protected conservation areas.
Attractions we vegans enjoy
What attractions do we vegans like going to when we are traveling? Most vegans would love going to protected nature conservation areas like the Galápagos Islands where we can see undisturbed nature and animals roaming freely in their natural habitats. Learn which attractions your fellow vegans enjoy going to when they are traveling and those attractions local vegans would recommend for visitors to their own hometowns. And please share the attractions you’ve most enjoyed visiting, both while traveling abroad and in the region you live. Some attractions examples include the landmarks, museums, and national parks and conservation areas you and your fellow vegans really enjoyed on your holiday travels. And for those facilities that have cafeterias or provide meals, please also review the vegan meal options they offer. With your help, and the help of our vegan community, this page can truly reflect the attractions we vegans most enjoy visiting.
Vegan Shopping
Not that long ago it was challenging trying to find quality vegan clothes, shoes, and clothing accessories. And only a handful of grocery stores had a good selection of vegan groceries. Luckily, interest in vegan groceries and ethical clothing has been growing steadily. These days, we have loads of vegan shopping options available to us. From basic vegan ware to the most elite and fashionable vegan clothing outlets and vegan shoe stores. We vegans have so many options to choose from. Almost all grocery stores now carry a wide variety of ready to serve vegan items we can easily prepare at home, and we even have completely vegan grocery stores, which well deserve our patronage. When we travel it’s fun to explore and patron vegan shopping establishments. And these days, no matter where we travel, there are amazing vegan shopping options to choose from. Some countries have lots of stores stocked with vegan wares, and many have a wealth of 100% vegan food stores and clothing outlets to choose from. This page contains some of the best vegan shopping. The vegan stores listed below were dynamically generated and sorted by your reviews and the reviews of your fellow vegans. We accept no advertising. Our goal is to provide a platform that truly respects and mirrors our collective vegan opinions and perspectives. As our global vegan community adds additional vegan and vegan-friendly listings, and as we review and rate our favorites, the resulting listings will continually, and more accurately, reflect our global vegan shopping preferences.

Infinity Foods has been a workers’ co-operative since 1979. Simply defined, a workers’ co-operative is a business run by its workers for its workers. It is jointly owned and democratically run by its members. There are no outside shareholders or owners to satisfy.
This creates a more motivated and unified workforce where everyone feels involved in the successful running of the business. Each member has a vote and can give input via regular member meetings.
Ideas of equality and fairness are fundamental to the co-operative. We gauge the success of the business not only in terms of profit but also through environmental and social responsibility and involvement in our local community.
